    Hey everyone in our latest blog post! 🙂 

    STEERING WHEELS

    At the end of the month, you’ll be able to plug in your own steering wheel to play Need for Speed Heat. We have tested the following models, but a few others might work as well:

    • Thrustmaster T300RS (PS4, PC)
    • Thrustmaster TX (Xbox, PC)
    • Thrustmaster T150 (PS4, PC)
    • Thrustmaster TMX (Xbox, PC)
    • Logitech G29 (PS4, PC)
    • Logitech G920 (Xbox, PC)
    • Fanatec CSL Elite Racing Wheel (PS4, PC, XB1)

    Make sure to connect your equipment before launching the game, and that your steering wheel is assigned to your user profile.

    and more!

    Is there support for a shifter, such as with the G920? That is a major point of contention for me as I am debating on the investment in a wheel and a second copy of the game for my PC. Thanks for any info.

    If you have a shifter it supports gears 1-6 and also reverse if your car is set up for 7 or 8 gears you'd have to go through 6 on the shifter then 7/8 would be accessed by the paddle shifters on the back of the steering wheel.

  • Big thanks to EA_Atic for your info on my G920 PC wheel. Great to see the EA techs come through! I am just starting the deluxe edition of Heat on my muscle of a desktop PC running at max      settings. I can already tell this is going to be big fun! Thanks again; Sincerely,Alpine Venom.

  • I've installed NFS Heat on Windows 10 PC and also owning a Fanatec CSL Racing Wheel.

    After starting the game for the first time my wheel was working.

    Next day NOTHING - tried so many things but can't get back to work.

    Any suggestions?

    I'm very frustrated!

    BTW - most of my racing games are working well with Fanatec!

    Does anyone know how to set the steering wheel controls on a genesis seaborg 400?
